Are eSignatures legally binding?

Yes, eSignatures are legally binding in most countries, including the United States, India, and the European Union. In the United States, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) both give eSignatures the same legal status as handwritten signatures.

  • ESignatures offer many benefits over traditional paper signatures, including:
  • Speed: eSignatures can be completed quickly and easily, without the need to print, scan, or mail documents.
  • Convenience: eSignatures can be completed from anywhere, at any time, with any device with an internet connection.
  • Cost savings: eSignatures can save businesses money on printing, postage, and other document-related costs.
  • Security: eSignatures can be just as secure as handwritten signatures, and many eSignature solutions offer additional security features, such as identity verification and audit trails.

If you’re looking for a fast, convenient, and secure way to sign documents, eSignatures are the perfect solution.

What is an eSignature?

eSignatures work by using a digital signature to bind a signer to a document electronically. A digital signature is a mathematical algorithm that creates a unique and secure identifier for a document. When a signer creates an eSignature, they are essentially using their digital signature to sign the document.

How do eSignatures work? 

To create an eSignature, the signer will typically be presented with a signature field in the document. They can then create their signature using a variety of methods, such as typing their name, drawing their signature, or uploading an image of their signature. Once the signature is created, it is attached to the document and encrypted using the signer’s digital signature.

  • Speed: ESignatures can be completed quickly and easily, without the need to print, scan, or mail documents. This can save businesses time and money.

  • Security: eSignatures can be just as secure as handwritten signatures, and many eSignature solutions offer additional security features, such as identity verification and audit trails.
